(For "offline" updates) Download the p2 zip archive from http://updates.parasoft.com/ and place it in the SOAtest installation directory.

Ensure that SOAtest is not running.

Run the update .bat or .sh script (in the SOAtest installation directory) using the following command (see About the Update Script Options):update [--debug] [--help] [--patch <arg>| --updatesite <arg>] [–version]

Start SOAtest using soatest.exe -clean (or eclipse.exe -clean if you have the plugin version of SOAtest).
